Hopefully #2 is not for real! Go Team Fossil!</p> <p>Jilly--Angie originally posted about these pumps in this post:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/20/thirteen-affordable-fab-finds/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/.....fab-finds/</a></p> <p>Isis--there are four snaps in the back to hold the belt closed. The back half is elastic.<br /> <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=1&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570037355&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=Wide+Spectator+Belt&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=038&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=1&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=1&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a></p> <p>jayne--I get tempted to do "non-me" looks all the time, especially when I see other YLF'ers in their fab looks! And I love experimenting. But as Una pointed out, no matter what I do it always seems to come out ladylike. I tried a menswear look on Tuesday and I felt so weird in it, like it was so masculine, but Una and others said it didn't look masculine to them at all.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-27-neutrals-day-2-menswear-inspired" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-inspired</a></p> <p>BethAnn--the jacket is still available at WHBM, on sale for $80:<br /> <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=7&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570034917&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=Pindot+Jacket&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=011&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=1&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=1&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a><br /> And the skirt is available too on sale for $40 although it looks like the only size available online is 16. So you might have to call around to the stores to find the skirt.<br /> <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=7&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570035210&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=Pindot+Pencil+Skirt&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=011&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=4&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=1&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a></p> <p>Kirti, Debbie, Sunita, DragonflyJane, Meridith1953--thanks for the compliments!</p> <p>I posted a few more pics to show the details of the ruffle collar and the skirt and to show the purse with the outfit. The collar stands up in the back--at first I thought there was something wrong and kept trying to flatten it down, but now that I look at the website it looks like it's supposed to stick up in the back like that--a bit Victorian. And the back of the skirt has a little flirty kickout. With the peplum, ruffles and collar, this suit feels very 40's meets steampunk to me--so fun to find a suit that feels like me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-538016 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:58:42 +0000 Beth Ann 538016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was....."Can I have that suit?" So ladylike and retro without looking costumey. Love the low heel in the shoe -- it's hard to find ladylike lower heels that aren't skinny kitten heels, which aren't so good for me. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537945 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:45:04 +0000 Meredith1953 537945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful! The shoes are darling too and look great with that suit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537842 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:56:15 +0000 DragonflyJane 537842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously swooning over those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537711 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:33:24 +0000 jayne 537711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so nice. You truly represent ladylike. Do you ever feel tempted by things not in your 'style'? You are lovely consistent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537708 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:31:59 +0000 Sunita 537708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an amazing suit, and you look really lovely in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537702 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:28:37 +0000 Debbie 537702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic!

I also love your bag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537700 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:28:22 +0000 Isis 537700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these shoes are fabulous! I think I hadn't seen them upclose in Shannon's posts, and I just love them!</p> <p>They make your outfit so interesting!</p> <p>I can't figure out the belt; is the buckle in the back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537699 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:28:08 +0000 Jilly 537699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great outfit. I love the tiny pindots, the fit of the suit, and the lapels on the jacket - very ladylike, but interesting, too. And where did the shoes come from again? I'm new, so I must have missed the post on the bow pumps. All in all, a great end tothe week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537698 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:27:54 +0000 lyn* 537698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seriously thought this said "FISH BOWL" pumps. I was ready to see plexiglass pumps with FISH inside. BOO.</p> <p>I love the way your obi plays off your elegant Fossil Bag. That is an amazing bag, isn't it. *dreamy sigh* I love mine sooo much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537697 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:27:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 537697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to my shoe twin!!! Don't you love them Natalie? And yes, they totally go with our vintage type looks. I also had to size up - I normally wear a 6 and got a 7 and they fit perfectly.</p> <p>They look wonderful with this pindot suit - a very 1940's chich lady outfit! Love it from head to fishbow toe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-day-5-pindot-suit-and-fish-bow-pumps#post-537690 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:23:40 +0000 goldenpig 537690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wore this suit last week, but it seemed like a perfect way to finish off the neutral challenge week, bookending the WHBM outfit I wore on Monday. Another look copied straight from the catalog! But the spectator pumps they had in the catalog were super high, so I thought of the perfect alternative--the All Black Fish Bow pumps that Angie recommended! Now I can be shoe twins with Shannon! (and I think maybe Sona?)</p> <p>The shoes definitely run small--I'm normally a size 7-7.5 and the 8 fit best (I also bought a 7.5 to compare but it was too small). But it's a size 38, which is the same size as my Dansko clogs (my Chie Mihara sandals are a 37.5). So it runs 1/2-1 size large based on the American size, but relatively true to size if you know your European size. The shoes are really comfortable--low heel and roomy toe box--and I think it'll go well with my retro ladylike style (which is very similar to Shannon too)! Great pick Angie!</p> <p>Oh, and another DD funny--she saw me putting on my skirt and said "Mommy, you need some pants to go with your skirt" (because I always have her wear leggings under her skirts). I said "No, I'm just wearing the skirt." And she said, "But then when you twirl, everyone will see your underwear!" Daughters are so much fun! :)</p> <p>White House Black Market Pindot jacket and skirt--black with cream mini-polka dots<br /> WHBM cream satin shell and spectator belt<br /> Old black necklace<br /> All Black Fish bow pumps<br /> Fossil Vintage Re-issue black/silver/taupe chevron stripe satchel (I was in a rush and didn't have time to take pics with the purse but used the same one from yesterday).</p> <p>ETA: More pics added to show collar and skirt details. </p>
